Dear Moderator,

I’m not creating duplicate posts of anything. I responded to this post, another support thread with a completely different response, and I tried to create 2 brand new threads for help on 2 separate issues. The only item I see on the site is this one. I don’t know what is going on, but it is NOT me and I am most definitely NOT posting duplicates.

I was able to upgrade to 1.2.2 via the WordPress Dashboard without any problems.

Thanks for solving this problem so quickly!

Well I figured it out. It was the compatibility mode. Somehow that had gotten turned on – probably by visiting a web site with issues – since I never use the stupid thing. With compatibility mode running, the screen options didn’t work, but with it turned off they load just fine. Stupid bloody IE! And let me tell you I’m not happy at all because it was the very LAST thing I did and only because my partner mentioned that testing that on her pc running win xp (I’m on win7) and it not working there, but working for her otherwise. I went through deactivating every single plugin and changing my theme to 2011 only for it to be a stupid button in IE.

I thank you for your time and attention. Maybe this will help another user one day!

Dear Zack,

Thanks for looking into the problem. I’m sorry that you were unable to recreate it on your end. I checked every single page of my WP Dashboard and all are displaying as I remember them before I installed your plugin. Unfortunately, there isn’t an error icon displayed either. And, to make troubleshooting even harder, I am using the exact same vesion of IE 8 you mentioned testing (8.0.7600.16385). Perhaps it is a conflict with one of my other plugins?

I am using:
AddToAny: Share/Bookmark/Email Buttons – Version .9.9.9.4
Akismet – Version 2.5.3
All in One SEO Pack – Version 1.6.13.3
FT Signature Manager – Version 1.3
JPF Register – Version 1.0
leenk.me – Version 1.3.6.1
Maintenance Mode – Version 5.4
SABRE – Version 1.2.0
Subscribe2 – Version 6.4
WP-o-Matic – Version 1.0RC4-6

Any known conflicts with what I’ve got?

I’m sorry, I never got to do the upgrade as planned as I got a new client that shook up my schedule! The best laid plans of web designers and all that, but I won’t complain because it’s a new client!

I was able to upgrade tonight and the hang problem is completely GONE! I checked it in IE, Avant, and Firefox and the Link Library pages are now loading as expected.

Thank you for the awesome work!

Unfortunately, I notice that the rss links are not working, but I’m going to mark this item as resolved and start a new post on that item.

No problem. Please let me know what you find when you return and can work on this again. I hope your presentation went well.

I did as instructed, created the link-library-images directory, gave it 777 permissions, and generated the thumbnails. When I did that, I received a bunch of errors (guessing one for each link on the site) that said:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://open.thumbshots.org/image.aspx?url=https://taxpackagesupport.com/(S(2wso4w45g2whrbq1ro2f5zrf))/k1SupportHome.aspx) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/content/t/k/t/tktcpa/html/wp-content/plugins/link-library/link-library.php on line 360

Line 360 of my link-library.php file is “$imagedata = file_get_contents($genthumburl);” The link-library-images directory now has files in it but they are all 0kb. I unchecked the “Use Thumbshots.org for dynamic link images” box and loaded up the site and now there are no thumbshots at all (which I expected since the files are 0kb) but there is still a delay.

I left the site like this so that you can see it – http://www.tktcpa.com/links/. Debug mode is still on.

Thanks for taking a look at this. Just tried it myself with firefox and I agree the page loads perfectly. Unfortunately, in IE8 and Avant I’m still getting the lag I mentioned.
